State PDC investigates campaign attack ads By Megan Hansen Nisqually Valley News The Public Disclosure Commission is now investigating the media agency involved in smear campaigns across Western Washington. Locally, Moxie Media distributed mailers prior to the primary election targeting State Representative candidate JT Wilcox, R-Roy. Both Wilcox and challenger Tom Campbell, R-Roy, have denounced p the ads. The campaign is Campbell largely in favor of Campbell. The media agency also produced campaigns against three other candidates in Western Washington. Senator Jean Berkey, D-Everett, filed a complaint with the PDC Aug. Wilcox 27 alleging Moxie Media along with two other groups “conspired to funnel money with the purpose of concealing the funding source for political advertisements aimed at forcing (her) out of the election during the primary thinking that their favored candidate would have an easier race in the general election.” She also alleges two organizations were created as the groups funding the ads, however did not file any claims with See PDC, page A12

Police presence makes Yelm nightlife a lot tamer By Megan Hansen Nisqually Valley News Yelm Police Chief Todd Stancil is pleased with the outcome of the weekend emphasis at downtown bars. “It went fine,” Stancil said. “I think the public draw to the bars has encour-
aged the owners and managers to try and fix the issues.” “Hopefully we’re on the right path.” The weekend passed without any major incidents. Yelm police officers took turns patrolling the bars downtown, increasing
their presence. While the weekend was successful, Stancil said officers will continue to have an increased presence downtown. “You can’t judge it on one weekend,” See BARS, page A12

Ridgeline takes safety to new level By Tyler Huey Nisqually Valley News
The 2010 Progressive Agriculture Safety Day is being held throughout the country in hundreds of locations, but only one is from Washington state: Ridgeline Middle School. Progressive Agriculture Safety Days are a one-day fun, educational event that teaches children safety and health lessons that can keep them and those around them safe and healthy. Ridgeline held its Safety Day for two and a half hours last Friday. “Our focus is on preventative safety,” said Becky Wallace, Yelm FFA co-advisor and Ridgeline ninth-grade teacher. “We want our kids to make good decisions as opposed to them having to deal with them reactively. (Safety Day) is all about exposing kids to different individuals and giving them messages about making good decisions.” “Hopefully they go out and share that.” Students rotated through various topics of discussion. Seventh-graders focused on hand washing, tobacco abuse,
traffic safety and Internet law; eighth-graders talked with firefighters, had alcohol and drug prevention, Internet texting and water safety. The ninth-graders had similar topics that were primarily taught by Yelm FFA members. Ridgeline received a grant for the event, which covered 375 T-shirts and safety bags, Wallace said. Many members of certain safety groups may have not been present at Ridgeline, yet their message rang true, such as the American Lung Association and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. “To get that grant we had to basically say what our plans were and why we thought it was important in our community,” Wallace said. “We are Yelm Community Schools for a reason, because we care about our kids and it is one community.” Wallace said Ridgeline’s enthusiastic staff, as well as support from the high school, made students excited for the event. “You’re not going to see behavioral problems in those rooms because they … know it’s a privilege for them to be here and we have guests in,” Wallace said. “Not to totally sound

cornball, but part of the Ridgeline strong covenants is being respectful, so most of the time our kids are good at that.” Though every station wasn’t exciting, per say, they all had an underlining message. Thurston County Sheriff Deputy David Claridge, for example, spoke about potential dangers of the Internet including
Facebook. “How many of you actually know everyone that’s on your friend list and have seen them in person?” Claridge asked. “Here’s the deal … the Internet is a great tool but it’s also very dangerous.” “Don’t be paranoid, don’t be afraid; just be cautious of what you’re posting.”
Whether it be Internet predators, not texting while driving or pictures of brains after the use of drugs and alcohol, nothing discussed was meant to frighten the students; instead, it offered enlightenment. “Anytime that (the FFA is) able to put on a solid activity that will benefit kids, we’re happy about it,” Wallace said.
Yelm spends $80K on Roy police join high-yield water pump LInX system By Megan Hansen Nisqually Valley News
Water is overflowing in Yelm as preliminary drills show the city’s Southwest well could yield higher than anticipated. The original plan was for the well to pump 750-1,000 gallons per minute and the city would eventually build three wells in the Southwest area of town. After preliminary tests, the well is anticipated to yield closer to 2,000 gallons of water per minute. It doesn’t mean the city will get that, but that’s what they’re anticipating, said Project Manager Stephanie Ray. “We want
to be able to pull the maximum amount we can.” In order to see if the well can yield the predicted amount, the contractor must purchase a custom pump. Yelm City Council approved a change order to pay $80,600 to purchase the test pump. The cost is one-third of the total cost since contractor Golder and Associates will keep the pump for future use. If the well is able to yield 2,000 gallons per minute, the city would only need to build one well as opposed to three, Ray said. It would change the capital fa-
cilities plan, saving an estimated $1-2 million. “I feel it’s a good investment for us to do this time,” Ray said. Ray also believes the change in pumping capacity will not affect preliminary impact studies. A 300-foot cement seal was built around the pump in order to prevent impact to surrounding wells. After the preliminary well is complete, testing will be conducted. The project will still have to go through the SEPA process including environmental studies, Ray said.

With a click of a mouse, the Roy Police Department will soon have access to tens of thousands of police reports throughout Washington state and beyond. Roy City Council approved a memorandum that allows the police department to install the Law Enforcement Information Exchange, or LInX Northwest, a regional information sharing system created and primarily funded by the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). “All it does is link our re-
ports win LInX Northwest,” Police Chief Jeff Prouty said. “Our reports will be available to other agencies to look at.” Thirteen partner agencies in the Seattle area in collaboration with NCIS launched LInX Northwest in August 2003, according to LInX Northwest Program Manager Keith Haines. It consolidated the knowledge of the law enforcement across Washington, Idaho, Alaska and Northern Oregon. In addition, there are more than 290 partner agencies participating in the program. The agreement does not require Roy police to do anything. It does not cost the city any money and will be installed on the department’s existing office computers within a week. “What it does is I can put in ‘skull tattoo on right hand’ and type that into LInX and it’s going to give me everybody from every report where it was mentioned,” Prouty said. “It will come up with all the people who have skull tattoos on their right hand. … It’s pretty amazing the way it was explained to me. It’s just a huge network in the northwest.” A lot of major agencies use LInX Northwest, including Pierce County, which has been using it for years. “And that’s why they want to get smaller agencies in there because we have a lot of information that we’re kind of keeping to ourself,” Prouty said. “This enables them to have access to our reports also. It’s a good tool for taking long shots at trying to find suspects and linking other reports to other agencies.” Roy police will be able to search for information such as arrest information, booking photos and field interviews. Aside from “skull tattoo on right hand,” police can search by a person’s name/nickname, age range and vehicle information, just to name a few. Prouty said LInX Northwest was also used in tracking down Maurice Clemmons, the man who killed four Lakewood police officers in November 2009.

LDS wards clean up Yelm-Tenino Trail By Tyler Huey Nisqually Valley News
Visit the Yelm-Tenino Trail and look around. The trail may look the same, but its surroundings got a much-needed end-ofsummer cleaning. Three local wards of the Church of Latter-day Saints carried garbage bags and high spirits Saturday morning throughout the Yelm-Tenino Trail. The wards (Deschutes River, Yelm and McKenna) had about 200 people volunteer two hours to clean 20 miles of trail on Sept. 11, the nine-year anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. “The church wanted to have a day of service for the community to commemorate 9/11,” said event co-coordinator Linda Goold. “So we came up with the idea of cleaning the bike trail from Yelm to Tenino.” Goold said about 130 people met in Yelm and around 60 were in Rainier. Everyone else gathered in Tenino. The project has been in the works since last spring. Goold said several ideas were discussed, but cleaning the trail seemed like something they could get a handle on.
“We are to serve our communities and 9/11 was an opportune time,” Goold said. Kelly Crane and his two grandsons were part of the cleanup in Rainier. Though Crane was happy to help, he said it was upsetting to see all of the litter. “We don’t like to see litter laying around,” Crane said. “We like to take care of nature and keep it the way it’s supposed to be. I’ve been picking up a lot of cigarette butts and small pieces of paper.” “It feels good to be able to help and keep the area clean and presentable for everybody to come through here.” The cleanup project started out small, but people wanted to help, and as the number grew so did the workload. “We just kept expanding,” Goold said. “It went from a little project into a really big project. Instead of a five-mile trail it became 20 miles of trail.” But cleaning the YelmTenino Trail was just one part of a much larger puzzle. Because it was 9/11, the head prophet of the church wanted wards throughout the Northwest to get involved in their communities

on the same day. In Lacey, they cleared out ivy by the community center, and a blood drive was held in Puyallup, Goold said. “Before I left (Saturday morning) I put out my flag,” she said. “My country is very dear to me.”
In actuality, cleaning the trail was a microcosm of honoring the United States and those who fight to protect the country. “We need to be here, we need to be here for our country,” a misty-eyed Goold said. “I’m not going to join the military — they really don’t want me — but
I can do this. I can take care of my little corner of the world. I can clean it up. Those are things I have control of — 9/11 I had no control.” “In my little part of the world, I can have some control over making it better,” she added. “This makes it better.”
TRL installs kiosk at Nisqually Library By Melanie Lockhart Nisqually Valley News
The new Timberland Regional Library kiosk at the Nisqually Indian Tribe Library, is becoming increasingly popular since it was set up over the summer. Library assistant Mitch Kover said that a lot of people are just learning the library itself reopened after it was closed for awhile, but the kiosk sees an average of five to 10 people using it each week. “They like it a lot,” Kover said. “Right now there are about eight items on hold for people to pick up. I even use it myself. It’s very convenient, very easy to use.” The kiosk contains two com-
puters hooked up to the Timberland library system. One provides access to the TRL library catalog, website, and reference databases, according to Leanne Ingle, TRL communications specialist. The second allows anyone with a TRL library card to check out holds and have them delivered to the Nisqually Tribal Library. Items on hold delivered to the library are the only TRL materials housed at the Nisqually location, Ingle said. The library itself houses an estimated 3,500 books, Kover said. “We’re getting ready to have our grand reopening on the 29th of the month,” Kover said. “The
library was closed for awhile, but we’ve acquired all of the books we had before.” Cardholders can access the kiosk to search the TRL catalog and place holds on books, CDs and DVDs that can be picked up at the Nisqually Tribal Library. They can search the TRL online reference databases and the website to check upcoming activities and programs put on by TRL. They can pick up holds delivered to Nisqually Tribal Library and check their library card accounts, Ingle said. All TRL cardholders can use the TRL catalog to place items on hold from home, school or office or another TRL library
to be picked up at the Nisqually location. The library is open to the public, but items are in-library use only for those who aren’t tribal members or residents of the Nisqually Tribe reservation. “Anybody can come in and use the library,” Kover said.
“What they can’t check out, we can generally either make copies or help them get copies from Timberland. We’ll work with anybody.” ■ The library is located at 4814 She-Nah-Num Drive S.E., Olympia. Contact the library at 360-456-5221, ext. 1125.

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
We aren’t opposed to giving credit where it’s due FROM MY DESK
What impact do you think the new bypass will have on traffic?
By Keven R. Graves
On his Facebook page Sunday, state Rep. Tom Campbell, R-Roy, was lamenting the lack of credit afforded him in last week’s Nisqually Valley News article about Phase One of the Yelm bypass nearing completion. Here’s what Campbell had to say: “Nice article on the first phase of the Yelm Loop project. It has died and been revived more than Lazarus, thanks to the Govenors (sic) budgets. Just curious why I was left out by the NVN? Since it was me that provided the state support to do this project.” In all fairness, there was no intent by the NVN N to deny anyone credit for their part in making the bypass a reality — at least the first phase. This week, an NVN N reporter called Yelm Mayor Ron Harding to clarify Campbell’s roll in the bypass. “Tom Campbell was instrumental in securing funding for the bypass,” Harding said Wednesday. “You have to have your local repre-

tives and can help build support and the foundation to get a project going. “It’s not just our reps that vote,” Harding said. “I think you need a combination of the two (reps and lobbyists).” Part of me would have liked to have seen Campbell express his disappointment in being left out of last week’s story directly to me, or in a letter to the editor. The way it was raised on his Facebook page left an implication that Campbell felt the oversight might be a deliberate snub. It was not. The focus of last week’s article was letting area residents know the status of the project, and that the first phase of the bypass, slated to open in October, includes Yelm’s first roundabout — a milestone up there with Yelm’s first elevator about a decade ago. As for his criticism of the city’s decision to spend money on lobbyists, I think that’s a legitimate topic of public debate. If Campbell would like the opportunity to address the subject in a guest column, he is getting his invitation right now, from me. That way, the people of Yelm can be party to the discussion, not just Campbell’s Facebook friends. ■ Keven R. Graves is editor and publisher for the Nisqually Valley News.

Cartoons
Too many look for motive that’s just not there
Brent Bargett, 32 Tree climber Roy
Editor, I loved your editorial this week regarding the cartoons the Nisqually Valley News runs. Thursday, while visiting my mother, she informed me that whenever I give her a book to read she diligently looks for whatever message I’m trying to communicate to her. Unfortunately, this week she read a Christian novel I picked up on a 70 percent off table. I didn’t even open the cover. The central character’s name was Sylvia and the plot was about her having an affair and figuring out the “right thing to do.” As soon as I sat down, mom wanted to know if I was cheating on my husband. Sometimes people attribute to us ulterior motives and subplots that are purely fictional. I think your choice of cartoons is balanced between a variety of opinions and I really don’t know which political party has your vote. Nor do I need to know. Keep up the good work.

sentative’s support for projects.” Other reps won’t support a project if the local rep doesn’t. The place where he really stepped up was when right-of-way acquisition was complete for Phase One and there was leftover funding, Harding said. He helped make sure that funding stayed with the project. (Former Democratic State Senator) Marilyn Rasmussen also helped secure it in the senate budget, Harding said. “We need representatives to take a lead role,” he said. Also on his Facebook page, Campbell took aim at the city’s decision to spend $36,000 to rehire two lobbyists to work on obtaining more funding for the remaining phase of the bypass. “Also interesting that the town of Yelm is once again wasting (taxpayers’ money) by hiring lobbyists for no reason. All they ever do is come by my office and ask if I have the project safe in the budget,” wrote Campbell. “They pay legislators to look after their district’s needs. This is just government waste,” Campbell said. Harding defends the expenditure. “For me to go to our representatives and ask for support is different than a lobbyist asking for support,” Harding said. Lobbyists know all the representa-

Therefore, this was not “war on a whim.” I attended Tea Parties and saw no participants bussed in. Counter protesters are the ones being bused in.

In school, children are our customers RAINIER SCHOOLS By Tim Garchow
I believe in relationships. We have a relationship with everyone that we come into contact with. From the person we buy a cup of coffee from in the morning, to our spouses and our children, we have relationships with everyone. These relationships evolve with each interaction that we experience. Have you ever been a “regular” at a restaurant? Have you ever sat down and been asked, “Would you like the usual?” It makes us feel good to go to a place where people know our names, our likes and our dislikes.
When we experience a negative interaction, whether it is poor service or apathy, we think differently about returning to that place. In schools children are the customers and each of them needs to feel that warmth and comfort that comes with being a “regular.” I believe in always assuming good intent. Far too often in life we get wrapped up in the daily grind and we fail to give others the benefit of the doubt. Two boys were playing out in the yard and the younger one ran into the kitchen with a bleeding scratch on his cheek. The boys’ mother asked what happened and the younger boy explained that the older one had scratched him while playing. As the mother began to scold the older boy, the younger one stopped her and said, “He didn’t mean to do it, it was an accident.”
We often jump to conclusions without getting all of the information. In education it is critical that we always assume good intent. Whether we are interacting with children or adults, we set the example for our students and they will learn to handle difficult situations by watching us. I believe that what we do at school each day has an impact. Parents, students, and staff have all asked, “How is public education going to succeed? Every year our children face more and more challenges and every time we turn around, the resources that we have to teach them are being cut.” My response to them is that I don’t know how we are going to do it, but I do know why we are going to do it. We are going to do it because while our children have no control over recessions, state budget cuts, or everchanging education reform, they still deserve a world-class education.
The challenges that education faces these days will not be solved overnight. It will be the little things that we do each day, the customer service, the relationships, the assumption of good intent, that will make the difference in the long run. At the end of August, I stood before all 135 employees of my school district, I explained my beliefs and I asked them a question. I asked, “When you die, your accomplishments are called a eulogy. When you retire, your accomplishments are called a legacy. What will people say about you at the end of your service to the Rainier School District?” My door is always open. ■ Tim Garchow is the superintendent of Rainier School District.

Don’t allow finger pointing to delay progress CITY TALK
By Ron Harding Hopefully, I can clear the air a bit of the controversy surrounding the Timberland Library located in Yelm. Recent discussion has
tried to lead opinion away from what is important and taking this issue out of proper perspective. Despite the recent controversy and comments to the contrary, you should know that our library is important to us. It is a service valued in our community. Though we may disagree about some of the administrative policies of the library, we can agree that keeping this service local is important. I also don’t want area
residents to get the impression that we are not working together to resolve the issue, because we are working in collaboration with local groups and Timberland. I am in regular contact with Timberland’s director and we continue to discuss new possibilities. Yes, we have had many discussions with Timberland and tried to negotiate more financial involvement from them. I won’t disagree that it was contentious at times.

However, it is not uncommon in multi-jurisdictional service agreements to experience disputes as to shared responsibilities. Those challenging discussions must take place to try and get the best possible space available. Our jobs as your elected leaders require we look at all the information available and make the best possible decision, carefully considering the impact at this moment and in the future. Truth is, we just don’t have enough information to make a sound decision in any direction, and won’t make one until we are able to do so responsibly. We must ensure our decisions try to provide balance to those who value this service against those who value other services. We know that we can place the library in a new location in Yelm. The choices we are discussing consider how much space/cost we obligate Yelm to. What is available and what can we reasonably sustain for years to come? The controversy is currently just limited to an issue of square footage. It’s important that we put this decision into perspective and consider all of the other challenges we are facing as a city and as

individuals right now. It is not the best of times — families are struggling, many have lost or are losing their jobs, and some are losing their homes. Costs for services continue to rise, but expected income levels continue to fall. The expenditure we may be able to justify today for the “biggest and best library” may not be sustainable three or four years from now. So what I ask for now is that we work together on this issue for the community. The constant finger pointing is only making the job of finding a permanent location more difficult. Debate about who should pay for what is behind us, I believe, and we need to now move forward with what can we reasonably justify paying for. I am optimistic we will have a nice sustainable location for our library for many years to come.

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vincent
Looking to offer a solid, dissenting viewpoint Editor, Regarding Rich Mizner’s letter to the editor last week, I want to thank the editor for publishing my letters, although, honestly, he doesn’t print them all. There are so many halftruths and lies being told that I seem driven to try to bring nonpartisan facts to the table. I’m trying to find a balanced view. I know it’s going to be difficult to see other viewpoints if you are heavily into the Fox channel, but you are always welcome to rebut my ideas, but please bring facts to the conversation, not just oft repeated rhetoric. We are told that all the “small” wealthy business owners who create jobs in this economy will be affected by the Bush tax cuts lapsing and will stop hiring you and me. But the IRS facts show that less than 3 percent of the people in this country will be affected by those lapsing cuts. Now, 354,000 of them earned more than $1 million, so they don’t count as “small,”
so are more than 3.6 million people hiring the other 138 million of us? I very much doubt it and I believe that most small business owners won’t be affected. Mind you, in Clinton’s time, before taxes were cut, those same “small” businesses, being taxed a whole extra 4.6 percent, somehow managed to create 22 million jobs. The U.S. Census Bureau found the money the wealthy invested overseas increased from $1.3 trillion to $3.2 trillion over the period 2000-08. So it doesn’t look like tax cuts to the wealthy do trickle down to hiring us, unless they trickle down to hiring in China. So is the choice; continue the top 4 million earners tax cuts and then to fill the deficit hole, raise our taxes by cutting Social Security, because that’s what it will amount to; raising taxes on the rest of us? Florence Vincent Yelm
know what she’ll write next. I heard what she wrote about the Koch brothers just the week before on “Democracy Now,” a taxpayer-supported far left radio show. Her letters are like the cliff notes from the left wingnuts. You can read her letter to catch up on anything the left is saying that you missed. It’s always interesting to hear the latest rant the left wants to grieve about. It all sounds good in theory, especially where these ideas are never challenged, like in academia or Nation Public Radio. But the world goes on. Look anywhere that left has had an opportunity to run things for a while, like American east coast cities, Venezuela, America under Obama, North Korea ... oh, and Cuba. You will see economic basket cases getting worse. Recently, Fidel Castro, the darling of my generation leftists, was quoted to say, “This (Cuba) isn’t working so good.” The rest of Latin America has economically left this worker’s paradise in the dust. Florence can’t blame that on the big corporations. Even Florence seems to be confusing herself. Last week she wrote, “Clinton, even I hated him …” and “ … the Republicans have done a wonderful job …” You see, it’s so easy to spin a point of view. Rich Mizner, next time Florence writes a letter just shake your head and smile.
Next time, just shake your head and smile Editor, I’d like to say that I look forward to Florence Vincent’s letter to the editor. You just never

Assembly
Group wants sovereignty, but benefits of society Editor, After reading the Sept. 3 Nisqually Valley News, I had to comment on two articles: First, I wasn’t surprised that a “sovereign” citizen of the Assembly of Delegates tried to bury the city in a flurry of paper. The Assembly is the largest of these groups, originally rooted in white supremacy and anti-Semitism, but is now expanding its scope. It’s frustrating to know these “sovereigns” use their tactics to evade taxes, child support, and other financial obligations, yet they continue to use our streets and highways, emergency rooms, and apply for programs such as food stamps, Medicaid, and Supplemental Security Income. They also spend our tax dollars on their pseudo-legal wrangling and spurious information requests. These people can also be dangerous, as was clear from this person’s threats, and numerous violent incidents across
the nation. If these people truly consider themselves above our laws and taxes, let them quit using our roads, utilities, and other resources. To learn more about this subject, visit www.splcenter. org or www.intelligencereport. org Second, I read Pastor Jeff Adams’ column on “being a Christian” with a mixture of disgust and amusement. Listening to this “Christian” authority sit in judgment of President Obama, or anyone else who doesn’t follow his specific version of Christianity, I realized this is exactly the type of message that pushes me, and others like me, from anything connected with “Christianity.” Why does Adams get a halfpage soap-box every week? We already have a thoughtful, insightful Christian-view column from a community member pastor. There are many other spiritual centers in Nisqually Valley. How about a Buddhist perspective from Wat Prochim Rainsey? How about a column from the “Ranch,” or one of the What The Bleep creators? How about a Catholic, Bahai, or Muslim viewpoint? If we are going to have weekly religion columns, we need some diversity of viewpoints. A weekly, right-wing screed seems incredibly onesided. Let’s hear some other voices. Robin Friend Yelm

Giorda E. offers posh After Hours By Melanie Lockhart Nisqually Valley News
Gourmet appetizers and top-fashion designs were two things that stood out during the September After Hours event at Giorda E. More than 30 people attended the monthly event sponsored by the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce and hosted by Giorda Elie at her Yelm store, located at 301 E. Yelm Ave. “I’m a bit surprised,” Elie said of the turnout, adding that she was appreciative of the support from not only the community, but from the Chamber. “I love it.” Attendees browsed the variety of clothing and accessories for sale while enjoying hors d’oeuvres catered by local chefs. Business men
and women, along with at least one political candidate, socialized during the event. Elie admitted she was somewhat jet-lagged after flying in from Spain the night before to make it back for the event, but added that she was glad she made it. Chamber Director Cecelia Jenkins presented Elie with a certificate of appreciation for Giorda E. After Hours events are hosted every month by a business or organization as a way for chamber members and people in the community to socialize and network following regular work hours. Events are 5:307 p.m. every second Thursday other than December. The next After Hours is Oct. 14 at Yelm Emanuel Lutheran Church at 206 3rd St. S.E.
Going paperless benefits land trust TwinStar Credit Union donated $1,070 to the Nisqually Land Trust to support reforestation of Chinook salmon habitat along the Nisqually River. The contribution resulted from a promotion TwinStar operated this summer to encourage members to switch from paper monthly statements to eStatements, which are delivered to members’ computers via the credit union’s website. Exactly 1,070 TwinStar Credit Union members switched during the campaign. TwinStar earmarked $1 for the Nisqually Land Trust for each eStatement registration. TwinStar members who switched to eStatements will use approximately 128,400 fewer sheets of paper in the next five years. The Nisqually Land Trust owns and manag-
es 3,400 acres of land in the Nisqually watershed, stretching from Mt. Rainier National Park to the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge on the Puget Sound. “TwinStar took an innovative approach to help people understand the impact they can have with just minor changes to lifestyle,” said Joe Kane, Nisqually Land Trust Executive Director. “Their contribution will result in long lasting and durable natural protections in the Yelm area.” The Nisqually Land Trust acquires and manages critical lands to permanently protect the natural resources of the Nisqually River watershed. Volunteer opportunities are always available. ■ For more information go to www.nisquallylandtrust.org

Cinemas closed Sat. night By Melanie Lockhart Nisqually Valley News

Only the top three movies, Alpha and Omega, Devil and Resident Evil: Afterlife, will be shown a second time at 2:10 p.m., 2 p.m. and 2:05 p.m., respectively. “I will have no other movies showing for the day,” Christian said. At 3:30 p.m., the cinema closes to the public for the evening and will resume regular business hours Sunday, Sept. 19. All proceeds from the invite-only anniversary event will benefit the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce. Attendees must present their
invitations at the door. The gala features a silent auction and special movie screenings as well as hors d’oeuvres and a no host bar with cocktails. No one under the age of 21 will be permitted at the event. The theme is Hollywood Sparkle with black ties optional. Attendees will be glitzed and glammed up for photos for the semi-formal event. This week’s movie schedule is listed on page B4 of the Nisqually Valley News and is available online at www. yelmcinemas.com
Unemployment rate stays steady
by Dr. Sarah & Dr. Judd Sherman
Is Tooth Regeneration in the Future? Each year, dentists treat millions of cavities that result from the enameleating acids emitted by sugar-eating bacteria missed by flossing and brushing. While drilling out tooth decay and filling cavities with amalgam or composite fillings has proven extremely effective in preserving the remaining healthy tooth structure, patients often wish they could somehow magically eliminate any decay and simply regenerate the tooth back to its previous healthy state. That wish may someday be a reality because scientists have identified a peptide known as MSH (melanocytestimulating hormone) that encourages cells within decayed teeth to regenerate in about one month. When introduced into the teeth in a gel or film in the laboratory, cavities disappeared and were replaced by healthy tooth structure. P.S. MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) has not demonstrated any ability to prevent cavities, which means that it is no substitute for flossing and brushing. Drilling teeth and filling them is safe and effective. However, though we numb the tooth, many patients still rue the sound of that drill. This column has been brought to you in the interest of better dental health by TODAY’S DENTAL CENTER. Call us today at 360.458.1976 for an appointment. Have you been putting off seeing a dentist? We’re located at 502 Yelm Ave., W., where we’re currently accepting new patients. We provide cosmetic, functional, and preventive dental care for all ages. You can rely on us to answer all your questions about dental treatments and procedures. PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Patriot Day
McKenna Church youth program Tues. By Tyler Huey Nisqually Valley News
Photo by Megan Hansen
Yelm Police Chief Todd Stancil, front right, Sgt. Adam Wood and officer Matt Rompa accept honors from Cecelia Jenkins during the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce’s Patriot Day celebration Tuesday. Yelm police were one of many agencies honored including Southeast Thurston Fire Authority, Bald Hills Fire Department Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Thurston County Sheriff. Honors were also given to local soldiers who died while serving.
For two decades McKenna Community Church has offered a youth education program called Awana, an international organization with the purpose of teaching children from the Bible. The church is holding the semi-yearlong event 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Sept. 21, 2010 to May 10, 2011 for toddlers through ninth-graders. Cost is $35 per child with a family maximum of $90. The cost goes toward books, uniform shirts and awards. “For nearly 60 years, Awana has been a leader in children’s ministry, helping churches and parents worldwide raise children and youth to know, love and serve Christ,” said Awana commander Jimmy Reynolds and co-commander Robert Etteldorf. “Most children trained in Awana become modern-day Josephs and faithfully follow God as adults. Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ.” Weekly Awana events in-
clude Bible study, games and council time “where one of our leaders will explain or apply scripture in a way that will make it useful and give practical sense to the everyday life of our children.” One game often played is nerf baseball. “All games are done inside and we move chairs out of the sanctuary,” Etteldorf said. “It is fun and the kids absolutely enjoy themselves.” Joseph of Genesis is a target for how the church and Awana want the children to act spiritually and morally. Etteldorf, who became a member of McKenna Community Church a year and a half ago, said Joseph characterizes five master life threads: respect, wisdom, grace, destiny and perspective. “Many Awana alumni are more devoted to God, His Word and their local church,” he said. Awana’s overall goal is to reach children with the gospel of Christ. ■ To register for Awana contact McKenna Community Church at 360-458-5300.

A12 Nisqually Valley News, Friday, September 17, 2010
STAR: Retired rodeo rider continues to shine Continued from page A1 “We had more fun when I was rodeoin’ — not as much money to shoot for.” He talked about how cowboys these days wear helmets and face masks, especially on the backs of bulls and broncs. “We frowned on that when I was a cowboy,” Martin said. “We wore a cowboy hat and nothing on our face.” “Oh, there’s been a lot of changes.” Martin, born in 1930 in Beaumont, Texas, said he started “rodeoin’” seriously at 16, though the interest came after he received a gift at the age of 12 or 13. “Daddy bought me a pony for a birthday or Christmas one time and he kept bucking me off,” Martin said. “That’s what got me started.” In those days, there weren’t many junior rodeos, Martin said. Other than eight months of steer riding as a junior cowboy, Martin started competing against adults. At 17, Martin joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association, or PRCA.
He won all-around cowboy honors at the Burwell, Neb., rodeo that same year. At 21, he started competing in college rodeos for Sul Ross State University. “I roped calves, bucked bulls — I did it all in college,” Martin said. He graduated in 1955 with a degree in animal husbandry and education. In 1993 he was inducted into the school’s rodeo hall of fame. Since college, he’s traveled all around the world. Martin competed in Australia, Canada, Mexico and Cuba to name a few outside the United States. His events were saddle bronc, bareback, bull riding and steer wrestling. Bronc riding was his specialty, he said. That, and saddle bronc, were his best events. “I’m too little to bulldog the steers,” Martin said. “But I did it anyway. If I drew the right steers, I could beat the big guys. It was kind of like poker and drawing the right hand.” Martin was roughed up more times than he can count. He’s broken bones “so many times, it’s pitiful,” he said.
That includes puncturing his lungs more than once and breaking each of his ribs multiple times. He’s also been kicked in the face by a bull. “Both of my knees are steel now,” Martin said. “They had to be replaced.” He’s won an assortment of awards and numerous all-around titles. He also competed at the National Finals seven times and became an All-Around World Champion. Martin’s wife, Sharon, said he was her “claim to fame.” The pair met at the rodeo in Salinas, Calif. A year later, in 1966 at the same rodeo, Martin proposed. Another year later, the couple were married at the Denver Stock Show — “one of the last big rodeos before the finals,” Sharon Martin said. The couple has seven daughters. Four live in Washington state. The oldest three live in Texas. Tex Martin opened rodeo schools in Idaho, Texas, Colorado and even one in Mexico. It wasn’t until age 43, two years after
he retired from the PRCA, that Martin began teaching at Rainier High School. He taught agriculture and horticulture and served as the FFA advisor. He retired in 1994 after teaching for 20 years. He substituted for several years after his retirement, he said. “Until I couldn’t hear the kids no more. I thought that was a little dangerous.” “I really did enjoy teaching school,” Martin said. “I loved the kids.” Many of them made up the 160 people who attended his 80th birthday celebration Sept. 5 at Yelm City Park. “Many students share how if it weren’t for him they wouldn’t be where they are now,” said Martin’s daughter Debi Holmes, who works for Rainier schools. Tex and Sharon Martin still live out on a farm in Roy just off McKenna Highway where they’ve bought and sold cattle throughout the years. He is proud to say he’s lived a cowboy’s life. “I’ll always have a few cows ‘till I die, I guess,” Martin said. “It keeps me going.”
GIRL: Kindergartener BARS: Police encouraged by quiet weekend decides to flee school Continued from page A1
Continued from page A1 sponded the school counselor was already there. They tried to calm the girl, but she got incredibly upset about going back to school, Eriksen said. “She was never going back to school.” Her parents were called, but weren’t answering the phone. The girl knew exactly where she lived and that her parents were home, Eriksen said. She took the girl to her home, which was across Highway 507 near Brighton Street and 105th Avenue. Yelm Schools Superintendent Andy Wolf said the girl is familiar with the area and knew the path home. The path was built several years ago to create a safer route for children to get to school. The path removes children from the main road and away from traffic. This isn’t the first time a student has left a Yelm schools campus. “We have students who get angry and leave campus at all levels,” Wolf said. To address the problem, Wolf said the district is putting in a new fence line with a supervision gate. Safety precautions already in place for kindergarteners include extra help and identification tags. Wolf said every kindergarten class in the district has extra help the first couple of weeks. Kindergarteners also have lanyard with a tag identifying them as a kindergartner. “We try to take as many precautions as possible,” Wolf said.
Stancil said. “We’ll take a look at the next couple of weekends.” “But we’ll definitely keep a pretty consistent presence down there.” He also noted that Yelm is approaching a slow season. Generally the bars slow down through October and November, he said. Last week’s bar emphasis was
prompted after several weekends of incidents including multiple fights. Several weeks ago a man was tased in White Horse Tavern after allegedly starting a fight with the bouncer and refusing to cooperate with police. The next weekend a fight involving 10-15 people broke out on Yelm Avenue. The weekend after that a fight broke out and a bouncer was hit
in the face. Stancil contacted the Liquor Control Board about increasing its presence at the bars. One concern for Stancil is over-serving. The bar owners have tried to establish communication to control over-serving. The problem is, Stancil said, people go down there from bar to bar and drink as much as they can.
PDC: Wilcox smear campaign ‘mean spirited’ Continued from page A1 the PDC. Some of the mailers did not identify who funded them in print. Berkey alleges they are in violation of the Revised Code of Washington. What’s interesting is that one agency is behind four campaigns all denounced as dishonest, said Alex Hays, consultant for JT Wilcox. Hays also works on the cam-
paign for Jim Johnson, who is running for reelection for Supreme Court Justice and was a target of Moxie Media ads. The mailers distributed for Wicox’s campaign did identify who funded them, 2nd Defense, which is largely funded by union and labor organizations. Hays said out of the four campaigns, Wilcox’s appears the least in violation. “They were much more offensive in Berkey’s campaign,” he
said. Hays said the campaign against Wilcox is mean spirited and deceptive. Other mailers allege labor and safety violations. While the PDC is investigating the Berkey case, Hays said the PDC has indicated they would be looking at other conduct by Moxie Media. If not, both the Wilcox and Johnson campaigns would likely file complaints, Hays said.

FREE WHEELIN’ VFW car show honors wounded warriors on 9/11 By Tyler Huey Nisqually Valley News Photos by Kristine Trent
Spotted this beautiful caterpillar hurrying along a path near the town of Rainier. Don’t touch, because their fur can cause skin irritation.
Sept. 11 was a time for admiration and remembrance at the Wounded Warrior Car Show. In support of programs at Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s Warrior Transition Battalion, Yelm’s Veteran’s of Foreign War hosted the event, showcasing 65 cars and raising $905 at Baydo Chevrolet in McKenna. Proceeds will fund programs of the Warrior Transition Units that focus on providing medical care, advocacy and leadership to soldiers who are wounded, injured or ill. VFW Commander Jerry Fugich said the event went well. In fact, Fugich said it will return next year on Sept. 10 and he expects an even larger turnout. “It makes me feel great, real great,” said Raymond Shriver, VFW member since 1998. “This way I can help some of the wounded warriors coming back from overseas. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.” Chuck Robertson of McKenna went to the car show in part to get ideas for his ’29 Dodge Sedan. Robertson initially didn’t know the event was a fund-

raiser, but after finding out he was even happier that he attended. “I think it’s great that they’re helping support the soldiers,” Robertson said. “It kind of helps people remember 9/11 and hopefully that will never, ever happen again. That’s one of those tragedies that happen. Learn from it and do your best to see that it never happens again.” Robertson had a brief conversation with Jim Martin about his ’38 Ford Standard. Martin, who is in the Olympia Street Rod Association, said he has worked on the car for five years. See CARS, page B8
Toddlers have a ball at Yelm Library By Tyler Huey Nisqually Valley News Wild White Mallow. A small, but if you look closely, beautiful wildflower seen between Yelm and Rainier.
Whether kids were read books, named animal cutouts or touched their “head, shoulders, knees and toes,” Toddler Story Time was a big hit Tuesday at Yelm Library. The event, 11-11:30 a.m. Tuesdays, Sept. 21 to Nov. 16, had more than 10 children along with their adult guardian. Library associate Kelsie Raddas hosts the event each week. “I enjoy the interaction with the kids, the energy I get from them and just getting to have that fun time with them,” Raddas said. Programs include simple stories, rhymes, songs and See BOOKS, page B8

The last week of September is still too early to harvest pumpkins but not too late to plant garlic or onion sets. You don’t have to harvest potatoes, carrots or brussel sprouts as these vegetables store better when left outdoors in the soil all winter. Swiss chard will also over-winter in well-drained soil and in our climate this vitamin-packed veggie can keep producing for two full years. I grow the beautiful leaves and colorful stems of Swiss Chard in container gardens and in front yard beds surrounded by flowers.
Growing Swiss Chard close to the house makes the leaves easy to harvest all winter long and even the tough stems can be cut up and added to soups, stews and stir fries. There is still time to replant those summer-weary container gardens with winter-tough herbs and perennials. Just rip out the past-their-prime petunias and sever the tops off seedy snap dragons and wilted coleus. Nurseries are still offering “Fall Magic” plants perfect for perking up containers. Make this the winter you enjoy your patio planters all year long by adding frost-resistant, tri-color sage, hardy dwarf euphorbias, dramatic heucheras, winterblooming heathers and the well-behaved and long blooming winter pansies.

elebrate the change of seasons with a change in the menu. These recipes for soups, salads and sides featuring seasonal foods will be a welcome addition to the table. And they’re simpler and quicker than ever when from-scratch ingredients are paired with convenient prepared options.
Soups: Cooler weather heralds the return to warm, satisfying soups. Versatile German Potato Salad Soup is an easy main dish that takes advantage of ready-to-use canned German potato salad. Simply combine the potato salad with sautéed bell pepper and onion, beer and a meat choice, if desired. Ready in 30 minutes. Tip: Top the soup with crunchy rye croutons and crumbled bacon.
Sides: Roasting enhances the flavor of vegetables and fills the house with enticing aromas. Hearty Roasted Vegetables is a colorful mix of red onion wedges, baby portobellos, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts and herbs, plus a jar of whole pickled beets. The sweet-tanginess of the beets adds a delicious new dimension to the roasted flavor profile. Tip: Vary the herbs ... try sage and parsley, or other on-hand favorites.
Salads: Focus on seasonal textures, flavors and ingredients. Beet and Red Cabbage Salad is delicious and doubles up on nutrientrich vegetables. Using jarred pickled beets and sweet and sour red cabbage, all of the pickling, slicing and shredding is already done. Crisp-tart apple and crunchy toasted pecans are added just before serving. Tip: Try substituting pears for the apple, walnuts for the pecans. Or, sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese.

Don’t coddle problems, take burdens FINDING REASON By Pastor Jeff Adams
In an oft-repeated urban legend, two kind-hearted ladies were on their regular shopping spree just across the border in Mexico when one noticed a pair of eyes in the gutter. They pulled over and looked more closely “Oh my,” one said, “It’s a sick little Chihuahua.” The two decided they must sneak it across the border back into California to help nurture it back to health. Back in their homes they shared responsibilities of trying to feed it, but it wouldn’t eat much. They took turns taking the poor thing home. Each would hold it, stroke it, hug it, kiss it, and take it everywhere she went. They even took it to bed with them, coddling it through the nights. Finally, when they realized it wasn’t getting any healthier, they took
it to a local veterinarian. “Where did you get this?” he asked. “From the pet store,” one replied. “No you didn’t,” he argued. They ultimately confessed and told him the whole story. “Ladies,” he explained, “You don’t have a Chihuahua. You have a Mexican Sewer Rat which has rabies. At any point it could have turned and bitten you, and you would then have rabies!” Of course, this isn’t a true story, but it serves as a good example. Often we coddle our problems. We hug, kiss, and nurture our difficult circumstances. Oh, we’ll take them everywhere we go — even to bed with us. We do all these things not realizing we’re making matters worse and certainly more dangerous. This kind of behavior can turn around and bite us! Colossians 3 tells us we should set our hearts and minds on things above, not on earthly things. A practical application fits here. Rather than focusing on our problems or difficult circumstances all the time, we ought to focus on Christ. If we dwell on things beyond
our control, we’ll only drag ourselves deeper into a feeling of hopelessness and despair. Jesus told us in Matthew 6 that stressing over the little things only wastes time. He explained to us clearly that we should concentrate on Kingdom things and let God take care of matters that weigh heavy on us. He also said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Certainly we must deal with our problems, and not simply pretend they’ll go away on their own. Let’s talk to God about them, and hand them over to Him. Doing that can do wonders. Also, let’s avoid coddling our problems. Rather than helping our friends nurture problems, let’s help take burdens away. God set up a thing for Christians called “fellowship” which is a huge benefit to us. He said we’re not supposed to purposely expect others to bear our burdens, but that we are to concentrate on trying to bear theirs (Galatians 6:2-5). If we’re busy serving and looking out for others,
it’s hard to overly dwell on our own issues. It’s essentially a matter of selflessness versus selfishness. If we are determined to look out for each other above ourselves, then we’ll be the Christian community God designed – a loving, patient, kind, etc., one in which people are united and strong. “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.” “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others (Philippians 2:1-4).” ■ If you have questions about the Bible, please send them to: Bible Questions, P.O. Box 2393, Yelm, WA, 98597. Jeff Adams is pastor for Paramount Christian Church in Yelm and Lacey. Yelm services are held 5 p.m. Saturday at the The Coffey Place, 311 Yelm Ave. W, Yelm.
OBITUARIES
Margaret Elvira Baker March 18, 1917 - Sept. 9, 2010 was a homemaker, wife, mom and grandma 100 percent. Mom and dad liked to hunt, fish, play pinochle, penny anti poker, camp and go to the beach. Her loves were family, babies, children, bingo, Billy Graham, tea and conversations with her daughters, dancing, mama cat and family pets, CNN, her son’s visits, Red Wind Casino, Mariners, Gonzaga basketball, reading, Clinton and arguing politics (didn’t like Bush). Margaret was opinionated, funny, caring and loving! She fought like a tiger for her family. Mom really enjoyed traveling to Victoria, Reno, Mexico, Las Vegas, Grand Ole’ Opry, Alaska, Boston, Bermuda, Arizona, Hearst Castle, California, cruises and family van trips. After her first cruise, she was in awe of the ship’s beauty and size. On a family trip to Grand Canyon, she wrote, “Standing up here at the top of the Grand Canyon seems to give me a different look at life. The wonders of our world are really great, but our family is greater yet.” Special events she loved were her 90th birthday party. She stated, “Even the mayor
came!” and their 60th anniversary because so many family and friends came. Margaret was proud of all her brothers that served in the military. Mom’s survivors are four sons, Lee (Joann), Dale, Virgil (Darlene), Joe (Judy) Baker; three daughters, Eva (Jim) Enlow, Lois Baker (friend Ric) and Faye (Jim) Myers; three brothers, Leonard, James and Charles Brandfas; 27 grandchildren; 49 great grandchildren and four great great grandchildren (one on the way). She was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, Roy; three grandchildren; her parents and numerous extended family. During mom’s brief hospitalization, almost all family visited which is a love tribute to her. An excerpt from mom’s recent writings touched our hearts. “As I look back on my yesterdays, I hope and wish you all the best and many happy years ahead. I still get tears and smiles when I look back at picture albums,

Documentary follows Phoenix destruction ON SCREEN By Roger Ebert
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. The tragedy of Joaquin Phoenix’s self-destruction has been made into “I’m Still Here,” a sad and painful documentary that serves little useful purpose other than to pound another nail into the coffin. Here is a gifted actor who apparently by his own decision has brought desolation upon his head. He was serious when he said he would never act again. He was serious when he announced a career as a hip-hop artist. He wasn’t goofing when he was on the Letterman show. He was flying into pieces. For reasons which are unclear and sidestepped, this pro-
cess was documented on video by the actor Casey Affleck, who is married to Joaquin’s sister Summer. It’s not well-done technically — the image and sound are bad — but it has the advantage of access to private and tormented moments. After Phoenix imploded during a famous appearance on Letterman, we see him leaving a limousine in Central Park, crawling up an embankment into some shrubbery, and screaming that he has destroyed his life, his music sucks, he will never be able to act again, and “I’m totally f--ked!” All of this is true. At least we must assume it is. If this film turns out to still be part of an elaborate hoax, I’m going to be seriously pissed. Actually, there are subtle signs it might be. The scene in Central Park: Is it a little too perfect dramatically? The scenes of cocaine sniffing, the nude parties including Joaquin’s assistant Antony Langdon and two hookers: Were they really possible with a director, cin-

✯✯ ematographer and sound man in the room? Would Casey Affleck release this devastating film with the acquiescence of his wife? Apparently so. It exists, it was released, I’ve seen it, and Joaquin Phoenix, as the title assures us, is still here. One doubts he will be walking the red carpet if the film has a premiere. It documents a train wreck. A luxury train — one carrying Phoenix, his several personal assistants, his agent, his publicist, and apparently not one single friend who isn’t on salary. A train that flies off the tracks and tumbles into the abyss. Phoenix comes across as a narcissist interested only in himself. He is bored with acting. He was only a puppet. He can no longer stand where he’s told, wear what he’s given, say what is written. It’s not him. He has lost contact with his inner self. He allows that true self to emerge here as a fearsomely bearded, deliberately shabby chain-smoking egotist who screams at his patient assistants, blames himself on everyone else, and has deluded himself into thinking that there is a future in his dreadful hip-hop lyrics.
He thinks fame and fortune are due him. He earned them in his acting career, yes, but he will no longer act. He expects Sean Combs to want to produce his CD, although Combs has worked hard to earn the respect that Phoenix manifestly doesn’t deserve. He’s a little surprised that Combs remains sensible during their negotiations, expecting to be paid for his services and oh, you know, studios, musicians, sound engineers, those kinds of things. He stands in the middle of an airport, puzzled that no limousine awaits. He flies to Obama’s inauguration, not invited, and doesn’t make it outside of his hotel room. He is mystified that he may no longer be able to afford his Los Angeles home. Phoenix’s hip-hop performances are incomprehensible. The lyrics that we hear are lead-footed and stupid. During one performance he races from the stage and vomits copiously. He is enabled by his saintly staff, including Langdon, who has been with him for years and appears to be paid as a 24-hour companion, since it’s doubtful anyone would want to be with this man for free. Antony, we learn, has recently become a recovering alcoholic. Which leads us to Phoenix’s substance abuse problems. He doesn’t drink much in the film. He smokes a great deal of what looks like pot. He says he scored cocaine in New York, and hardly seems to be
using it for the first time. He has no onscreen moment when he appears clean or sober. Whether drugs alone could account for his condition, or whether mental illness is also involved, is not for me to say. But I will say this: Joaquin Phoenix is a good actor. I was astonished by his performance as Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line” (2005). He was so good in other films, including the superb “Reservation Road” (2007), “Two Lovers” (2008) and “Gladiator” (2000), although I was unenthusiastic about the film. Whether he wants to be an actor is his business. Many great and worthy people have been, and in this film we see or hear about Paul Newman, Sean Penn, Jack Nicholson and for that matter Danny DeVito (whom Phoenix dismisses). I have hope that if Phoenix ever cleans up his body and mind, he can be restored and can be happy again. See how Robert Downey Jr. and Dennis Hopper came back from the edge of the grave. We do not desperately need another actor, but Joaquin is imprisoned within his illness, and he desperately needs to get well. If he wants a career as a singer — well, why not country music? In “Walk the Line” he proved he has a talent for it. In “I’m Still Here” all he proves is that he is hurtling toward the same pointless oblivion that killed his brother River. It is a waste of the privilege of life.

Here’s something I wasn’t expecting: an Aboriginal musical from Australia, set in a late hippie era and featuring production numbers with a dash of Bollywood. It isn’t a masterpiece, but it is a goodhearted, sweet comedy, featuring an overland chase that isn’t original but sure is energetic. The movie opens with its two young lovers shyly making eyes at each other. These are the young teenagers Willie (Rocky McKenzie) and Rosie (Jessica Mauboy). They daringly peek into a local saloon, and the singer invites the pretty Rosie (but pointedly not Willie) inside. Rosie can’t resist a chance at a microphone, and magically becomes the center of the movie’s first dance number. The way everyone in the

accent but not overmuch of the holy spirit. Willie yearns for home and Rosie, and runs away, finds a hobo camp, and is befriended by Uncle Tadpole (Ernie Dingo), who claims to be a relative but forgets about that in the morning. No matter. Uncle Tadpole comes along for the trip, and they hitch a ride in a van painted in a psychedelic 1960s style and piloted by two jolly hippies. Father Benedictus follows in unconvincing and not very clerical fashion as he goes in pursuit, having forgotten, I guess, that Willie must want to be a priest and not be captured and forced. And so on. I learn “Bran Nue Dae” was a hit on the Australian stage in 1990. Many of the songs, some with serious undertones, reflect the treatment of Aborigines, who were treated as cruelly as Native Americans, and in such recent decades you’d think a more enlightened vision might have seeped into Australia, not that we have anything to feel smug about. The two leads are sweet and attractive, their roles don’t place great demands, and the movie skips along happily, if a little disorganzed. Its look is striking; the cinematography, by Andrew Lesnie of “The Lord of the Rings,” gives the exteriors an almost Day-Glo brightness, as if the sun is shining through the screen.

Thank God for developing experiences FROM THE HILLS
By Pastor Sylvia Peterson
Once a week I spend the day with my octogenarian mother. We visit while I change her bed sheets, do laundry and give her a shower. Then we go to physical training where she’s fighting to remain ambulatory. The day before my visit we chat on the phone and I always ask, “So what are you hungry for this week, Mom?” Sometimes its homemade orange rolls. Other times she asks for any of a variety of salads. She almost always
wants homemade custard in little one-serving containers. In the summer I cut flowers from my garden and arrange them while we talk. In the winter we settle for store-bought. Although our weekly time together sounds idyllic, I rarely leave feeling that way. Mom has trouble remembering current events, but is crystal clear if asked about something that happened decades ago. I am usually her topic of conversation when we’re together. Unfortunately, her most vivid memories are of the times I was rude, selfish, manipulative or just plain mean. The teenage years are especially ripe with examples. I’d like to say my behavior improved as I got older, but frankly it didn’t until I began the long journey of sanctification. God orchestrated profound
OBITUARY
Suntok Songme YI Jan. 28, 1953 - Sept. 8, 2010 Suntok Songme Yi passed away Sept. 8, 2010, at home after a two-year battle with gastric cancer. Songme fought Yi this disease with courage, strength and grace, inspiring all those around her by her energy, compassion and spirit even on the most difficult days. Songme was born on Jan. 28, 1953 in Seoul, South Korea. She attended Houng Ki University in Seoul graduating with a degree in fine arts. In 1974 she left South Korea for the United States and settled in San Diego, Calif. Songme became a United States citizen on July 4, 1976 and displayed her Gerald Ford citizenship letter with pride. Songme moved to the Puget Sound area in 1991 and lived in Bremerton, Tacoma and Yelm. Songme, a passionate fisherman, spent many enjoyable days on the streams and rivers around the Puget Sound area. She typically out-fished the fishermen and always came home with the “catch of the day.” Songme possessed a green thumb and could bring any plant to life with her fine touch. Her backyard became a jungle blooming beautifully all summer long. Songme, a “chef’s chef” was able to cook almost
any dish from scratch. Her spring rolls are the best ever cooked. She was equally adept at eastern and western cuisine. Songme will be missed by her husband, Ken Garmann; son, Donald L Seese, III; stepchildren, Roark Garmann and Tiffany Geddes; former husband and friend, Donald L Seese Jr.; best friends, Yong Suk Lee and Kim Mog; other family members and friends. Songme will be especially missed by her poodle Mojo. The family would like to thank everybody for their love and support. A very special thanks to Dr. Brian Keay, primary care physician; Dr. Michael Harris and the infusion professionals at Providence Western Washington Oncology, Jennifer Martin, RN Providence Hospice, the third floor nurses at Providence St. Peter Hospital, and the Yelm Safeway Pharmacy for their loving care of Songme during her illness. In lieu of flowers please make donations to either the American Cancer Society or Providence Western Washington Oncology in the name of Suntok Songme Yi. A memorial celebration of Suntok Songme Yi’s life will be held at a later date to be determined. The obituary may be viewed or condolences left for the family at www.funeralalternatives. org
lessons in my life that gradually, progressively and permanently changed me. Once we have walked “The Via Delarosa” and carried our own crosses, we can never go back to the person we once were. For most of us (and our mothers) that is a relief. At the end of each Mom story I say the same thing. “I’m very sorry I hurt you when that happened. Today I am different and we are blessed to have each other to love in a new and healthier way.” Then we move on to the next story. In several of the New Testament scriptures Paul talks about “being poured out as a drink offering.” Am I truly ready to pour out my life in a sacrificial way that ministers to my mother? My natural tendency is to say, “I’m not ready for that, God. Let’s
wait until I choose the place and conditions of my sacrifice. Besides, I want it to be something impressive with lots of people admiring me. I need that to keep me motivated.” I often forget Jesus came as a servant. “Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what… When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! It was an incredibly humbling process.” (Phil 2:5 – 7) Driving to Mom’s each week I ask myself, am I really willing to be used by God, even in tasks of relative insignificance? Am I willing to be poured out until I am empty and exhausted. I’m I
OUR VALLEY
By Beverly Vines-Haines Last week I wrote about Ed Bergh and the Yelm History Project. This week I want to focus on Yelm’s earliest settlers and some of the extensive facts Bergh and others have uncovered about these amazing people. Maps and history rarely reveal much beyond names and facts. A good researcher uncovers the heart, goals and soul of those who have gone before. We know many general facts about Yelm pioneers because we drive on roads named after them, often their descendents live among us and there are stories and legends most of us have heard. But the Yelm History Project changes all that. It reveals intimate details of their lives, publishes personal letters, journals and papers. One man and his dedicated students have gifted us with vivid details and a rich historical tapestry. Who were these early settlers? Everyone, of course, knows about James Longmire.
He and his wife Virinda, along with their four children Elcaine, David, John and Tibatha, left their home in Shuwme Prairie, Fountain County, Indiana in 1853 and joined a wagon train headed to the Washington territory. I have always heard they spent their first night in the Yelm area sheltered behind that huge rock that stands on 153rd Avenue near the Lake Lawrence fire station. In addition to the Longmires, early settlers included Betsy and John Edgar, Christina and Levi Shelton, Bridget and James Hughes, James Burns, George Brail, Lewis Barnard, Maria and Charles Wheeler and George and Mary Edwards. Each of these individuals, each couple, had a story to tell. They all knew fear during the Indian war in the mid-1800s, they suffered loss and probably wondered why on earth they’d left their comfortable homes back east. The Yelm History Project goes so deep into each family’s story that one can get lost in their circumstances. Bergh writes about Miranda Wheeler’s first pregnancy and how she might have felt going through that with her husband away on business and with the war. Eventually she gave birth to one of the first settler’s children

willing to love no matter what? God is never improvident. Each of my life experiences and relationships are part of an exquisitely choreographed dance. And with each new step He molds and fashions me from who I was to who I will be. He wastes nothing. I am learning that when we agree to be a drink offering, we must accept the consequences without complaint. Today I am humbly grateful for these times with my mother. With each story I have an opportunity to say, “God, thank you for loving me enough to use this experience to develop my character, to deepen my relationship with you and to love my mother in a new way.”
born on the Yelm Prairie. “A ‘time of illness, death and melancholy,’ was how the historian Cathy Luchetti once described pregnancy on the frontier. Mariah knew, as that same author concluded, that ‘maternity,’ (often) invited mortality.” As late as the decade of the 1830s one researcher determined that nearly half of children died before the age of 5. Couples like the Wheelers, did not know the odds, they knew from observation and later by experience that pregnancy was hard.” These settler’s homes were not really close but they knew each other, relied on each other and might not even have survived without the assistance and support they gave each other. The Miranda Wheeler story goes on to say Miranda eventually named one of her daughters Virinda after Mrs. Longmire. Bergh also writes about James Burns and his lonesome and dreary life. I suppose the story has a bit of humor since it reveals so much about the cantankerous side of this Scottish immigrant. He could not get along with his neighbors. No one liked him. They thought he was deranged and even had him arrested for shooting at berry pickers and passersby. One of his main adversaries was J. C. Conine because Conine’s wife, Martha, was one of the berry pickers. Eventually Burns was declared sane but the damage to his relationships was irreparable. He moved to Roy, lived in a hotel and eventually died there. Each settler has been researched and written about with a historian’s kind touch and lenient understanding. Life was so hard on the prairie in the mid to late 1800s. Still the Yelm History Project takes us on a journey through these peoples’ days, their struggles and even the motives of the times. They took a rugged land, tamed it, farmed it, logged it and loved it. They left us with a legacy of strength and compassion. If you love history and you love Yelm, please take time to visit the Yelm History Project website. It offers a feast of detail and information. ■ The Yelm History Project is available at www.yelmhistoryproject.com

BOOKS: Story times offer socializing, fun Continued from page B1 movement games that children and adults can enjoy together. The purpose, Raddas said, is two-fold. “We’re trying to get kids to have a good idea of the library and have fun when they come,” Raddas said. “Also, we’re trying to teach them things. The story times we do here are based on early literary skills, so we’re trying to convey the six early literacy skills that kids need to have mastered before they start learning to read.”
Since this was the first fall Toddler Story Time of the year, Raddas hopes to see the crowd grow week to week. And if people are thinking of attending, Raddas said they’re are several reasons to do so. “It’s free, educational and a safe environment,” she said. “It’s also a really good social opportunity. People who live out here are kind of spread out, so it’s a really good gathering place for families and kids to come socialize and talk about things.” Socializing is one reason
why Lindsey Jones brought her son, 2-year-old Keaton Nutter. Jones said he is normally shy, but was pleased to see that he really liked it and was one of the more charismatic kids in attendance. Keaton often stood up to count and play along with songs. He also walked toward Raddas and pointed at the animal cut outs she was asking everyone to name. “I thought it was a good idea for him to be around other kids,” Jones said. “We will definitely come again.”

LET’S HEAR SOME HOORAYS FOR HYDRANGEAS Fall is when hydrangeas are still blooming while other flowering shrubs are long past their prime. This is a good time to pick out the perfect hydrangea for the landscape. Hydrangeas love our climate and thrive for years with very little care. There are hundreds of hydrangea varieties including dwarfs that do well in pots and climbing hydrangeas that will cover a garden shed or wall. Last year I wrote about my newly planted hydrangea room. This space is still in glorious bloom and you can transform any partly sunny area into an outdoor space enclosed by hydrangea walls. I made compost piles right on top of the lawn then added some topsoil and planted hydrangeas into these new raised beds. The taller varieties go in the back and the dwarf hydrangeas are
near the front so that even in winter when you enter this garden room you have a vision of living walls. Here are my favorite hydrangeas for adding carefree color and autumn drama to the landscape:
THE DARLING DWARFS: MINI PENNY, BUTTONS AND BOWS AND PINK ELF These compact hydrangeas are under 3 feet tall and perfect for pots on the patio or the front of a shrub border. The pink blooming “Mini Penny” in my garden flowers from July until October, survives harsh Enumclaw winters in an urn and has been growing happily in the same pot for four years.
THE DRAMATIC PANICULATA HYDRANGEAS: PEE GEE, ANGEL’S BLUSH, PINKY WINKY AND PINK DIAMOND These are not your grandmother’s mop-head hydrangeas. The hydrangea paniculatas have giant pointed blooms up to 16 inches long in shades of cream, peach and pink. Some like the “Pee Gee” in my garden can be trained to a tree shape while the “Pinky Winky” hydrangea makes a tidy 6 to

8 food hedge. The paniculata hydrangeas bloom on new wood so pruning them back in late fall or early spring will produce armloads of new flowers. Hot Pink “Invincible Spirit” Hydrangea: This variety was named for and provides money to breast cancer survivors and really does bloom pink even in our naturally acid soil that turns most hydrangeas blue. Unlike the traditional mop-head hydrangeas “Invincible Spirit” can be pruned to the ground every spring as it blooms on new wood. This makes it a great choice for small gardens or large pots.
THE TOUGHEST HYDRANGEA: HYDRANGEA “INCREDIBALL” A new variety that created quite a sensation because the white to creamy blooms are an incredible size — up to one foot wide, held aloft by strong, straight stems. But what I find most incredible is the amount of abuse this plant will take. I’ve grown it in dry shade, lousy soil and also in a spot where moles and voles burros into it’s roots. Still “Incrediball” manages to bloom each summer. This is one hydrangea that needs pruning attention each spring. The heavy blooms need the support of branches that are cut to the ground every year. Expect this shrub to grow four to five feet tall even with an annual pruning. “Incrediball” is incredible. Walk-ins welcome

CARS: VFW show raises $850 for soldiers Continued from page B1 “I get a great deal of pleasure working on them, and my most important pleasure is to sit behind the car and have people come up and say, ‘Gee, that’s a beautiful car,’” Martin said. The main reason Martin entered the car show is because of the fundraiser’s purpose. “Generally, we (the Olympia car club) go to bigger car shows,” Martin said. “Because of the day and what it’s for and who is putting it on, that’s the reason we came here.” Of course, that’s why many people went to the event. Not only could they look at pristine cars, it benefited a worthy cause. Steve Mazer and his son, Steven, live in Colorado but were in town visiting family.

“It (car shows) keep the business alive and keeps the interest going,” said Steve, who owns a car restoration shop in Colorado. “To be able to see all the cars, because they’re all works of art, I just enjoy looking at them a lot.” “I help him down at the shop,” Steven added. “I came down here because you … just see the work they put into it and you appreciate it.” Doug said he enjoys the cars, but he had a more meaningful reason to attend. “It means a lot to me because I’m retired military,” said David, who works at McChord making loaders for MC-17s. “We spend time on carriers in the Indian Ocean; these guys spend time in the desert doing the same thing.

Ex-YCS students play under ‘Friday Night Lights’ By Tyler Huey Nisqually Valley News
Kristofer and Morgan Calapp spent the previous five years in Yelm Community Schools, yet in their first year at Bethel they played football in Odessa, Texas, under the “Friday Night Lights.” In 1988, the Permian Panthers, a high school football team in Odessa, were practically unbeatable. In fact, they were so good a 2004 movie was based off them, as well as a current television series on NBC. And due to a Bethel football coach’s contacts, Kristofer, a senior, and Morgan, a sophomore, joined the Bethel Braves
of Spanaway on Sept. 2 for a showdown against the Permian Panthers. Bethel’s season-opener ended in a 39-21 loss, but that experience will never be forgotten, especially because Bethel put up 548 total yards of offense, the most a Permian defense has ever allowed. “That stadium had about 15,000 people in it,” Kristofer said. “You can tell it’s definitely a small town thing. The whole community is into it. … They even have a JumboTron. It was pretty awesome.” Kristofer rushed for 102 yards. Morgan, who could not be reached for comment, played

offensive tackle. The game atmosphere is different than in Yelm or Bethel. “At Bethel we have a rival, but at Texas it was different,” Kristofer said. “It was different in the fact that … they live to play football. There are a lot of people who live to play football in Washington, but not the
whole team.” The game had been in the works for eight months. Bethel coach Gavin Kralik had some contacts, Kristofer said, and he knew the Panthers’ coach. From there the game was scheduled and the rest is history. “It was a great experience,” said Kenton Calapp, Kristofer and Morgan’s dad. “I got to watch them build a better friendship with each other. It was a better game just because of the bonding and brotherhood they participated in.” Bethel lost partially due to three crucial fumbles, but the outcome wasn’t as important as taking the experience in. After
all, it’s not every day that higher schoolers from Washington travel to Texas to take on an iconic football program. Even before the game was set, Kristofer said he knew of Odessa and its “Friday Night Lights” history. But it’s not even the game itself that he will remember the most. It is the bond he built with his teammates. “That is what I’ll never forget,” Kristofer said. “Going into a new school, being that good of friends with new people in a short amount of time, that was really stunning to me and how we were pulled together.” “We lost, but we felt like we had won.”
Numbers don’t lie: King Felix is No. 1 MIND OF MR. PERFECT By Tyler Huey
Let’s tweak one of Jack Nicholson’s lines from “A Few Good Men” to make a point: Cy Young Award voters can’t handle the truth because deep down in places they don’t talk about in media rooms, they know Felix Hernandez is the American League’s best pitcher. Will the Seattle Mariners’ ace win the yearly award given to each league’s top pitcher? Probably not. But it’s not King Felix’s fault that he plays for a lousy team while CC Sabathia reaps the benefits of pitching for the New York Yankees. Look, Hernandez and Sabathia are great. They should be the front runners for the Cy Young and it’s not even close. But here’s the thing. Just because Sabathia’s record (19-6) dwarfs Hernandez’s (11-11) doesn’t mean he’s this year’s best pitcher. As of Sept. 15, Hernandez leads AL pitchers in nearly every category: first in earned run average at 2.39 (CC is fifth at 3.03); first in strikeouts (CC is sixth); first in innings pitched (CC is second); third in complete games (CC isn’t in the top 10); third in shutouts (CC hasn’t thrown a shutout); fourth in walks and hits per nine innings pitched (CC is 10th); fifth in hits per nine innings pitched (CC is 10th); seventh in strikeouts per nine innings (CC isn’t in the top 10); and despite having the most innings pitched, he isn’t in the top 10 of most bases of balls (CC is 10th). You get the point. There are more statistics to prove Hernandez’s dominance but they aren’t necessary. The main thing Sabathia has on Hernandez is his win total, and that number is skewed because of their teams. While the Yankees are first in the majors in runs scored (771), the Mariners are dead last, having scored more than 300 runs less than New York. If this argument sounds like a jilted Seattle homer, that is partially true. As of Wednesday, the Mariners are 35 games under .500 and have the second-worst record in baseball (55-90).

Plyometrics add power in a short time frame
FEEL THE BURN By Todd McGrady
By adding plyometrics into your workout you will see measurable results in a short time. Plyometric exercises are used to develop increased power in your muscle groups for those short bursts of power that are needed for specific sports. These exercises are very popular among athletes as they need increased muscle power for their sports. If you’re looking to increase your speed, power or vertical jump, plyometrics need to be added to your training routine. By design, plyometrics recruit more neurons and fasttwitch muscle fibers to give you that extra burst of power needed utilizing gravity, a weighted vest or ankle weights. Performing box jumps recruits more neurons and muscle fibers to fire while training more muscles and neurons to contract to perform that specific action. Plyometrics consist of box jumps, eccentric and concentric, high knee jumps, single leg jumps, stairs, hurdle jumps, ladder footwork and sprinting harness. ■ Todd McGrady is a nationally certified personal trainer who has trained hundreds of clients since 1994.

Unfamiliar territory ‘This is our year to shine’ By Tyler Huey Nisqually Valley News
Yelm volleyball has never been known for winning, but this year’s team plans to change everyone’s perception. The girls have shown promise thus far. They have had leads in nearly every match, yet closing out an opponent has been problematic. Take last Saturday’s 10-team tournament at Battle Ground as a prime example. Yelm placed seventh but it could have been much better. “We should have been playing for first, second, third or fourth place,” Yelm coach Becky Wallace said.
Unlike normal games where teams must win three matches, they only had to win two in this tournament. Yelm started by defeating Rainier in two consecutive matches, and they had opportunities to win every other game. However, whether it was nerves or not knowing how to close a team out, Yelm faltered. After the Tornados’ opening win they lost to Columbia River, the eventual tournament champions, despite having a 20-9 lead. Yelm followed up that blunder by blowing substantial leads to Ridgefield and Evergreen. “And I’m not talking a two- to three-point lead,” Wallace said. “We
had a LEAD in each of them and lost.” Yelm placed seventh after defeating Hudson’s Bay, yet the girls had to rally and win the final two games because they lost the opener due to squandering a 10-point lead. “Hudson’s Bay was probably one of the best teams in the tournament, in my opinion,” Wallace said. “They had probably one of the most structured offenses and played at one of the highest levels.” In the first week of the season Yelm’s quandary is they’ve been good See V-BALL, page C2
RHS Homecoming to have fireworks By Melanie Lockhart Nisqually Valley News
There will be fi reworks in the stadium Friday during Rainier’s highly anticipated Homecoming game against Tenino. Literally. A five-minute fi reworks display is just one thing the crowd can look forward to during Friday Night Lights for the home opener Sept. 17 at Rainier High School. There will be one blast following the National Anthem and
then about 70 blasts shot from the Sportsman’s Club property near the grandstands following the football game, according to Rainier Mayor Randy Schleis. The show is being donated at no cost to the district, Superintendent Tim Garchow said. Permitting is already taken care of through the City of Rainier as well. Football coach Jeff Johnson said Chad Beebe of Orion Pyrotechnics, See RHS, page C7
Yelm improves amid consecutive losses By Tyler Huey Nisqually Valley News
Jacob Swilley had all of Yelm’s touchdowns Friday night, including a 67-yard run in the first quarter, but it wasn’t enough in a 42-21 loss at Tumwater. See YELM YELM,, page C2
Mounties look to improve times By Melanie Lockhart Nisqually Valley News
With two meets and a fun relay behind them, Rainier’s cross country athletes are working hard to improve times individually as the season progresses. “They just need to keep doing what they’re doing,” coach Rob Henry said of the kids. “They are all working hard. They have great attitudes and are a great group of kids.” “The thing about running is that
you just have be motivated to do it. They are doing a really good job of pushing each other and keeping each other’s spirits up.” During the first Evergreen League meet of the season Tuesday at Rainier, sophomore Ben Hansen and senior Alex Miller led the way for the Mountaineers during the 5,000-meter race. Hansen finished fourth for the boys in 18 minutes, 33.61 seconds. Miller finished seventh for the girls in
24:15.27. The boys had 13 runners and placed fourth out of four teams, just four points behind third-place Ilwaco. Due to two of Rainier’s girls still needing some more practices before they’re eligible to compete, the girls’ team wasn’t able to field a full team. Sophomore Keanne Rutter finished 17th in 27:40.32 and sophomore See X-COUNTRY, page C2

V-BALL: Building a winning program Continued from page C1 enough to get leads, but when it comes time to step on an opponent’s throat and finish them, they often find a way to come up short. Wallace said they just don’t know how to win yet. “It’s rather frustrating, and it’s frustrating for the girls,” Wallace said. “There’s no question they wanted to win. They knew that they were better than the teams we were playing and it all didn’t come together. Hopefully they get frustrated enough to just believe in themselves enough to play a team all the way because we have to do that when we come to our league games.” Senior Kylie Harmon said they have the potential to do great things, but she said it’s frustrating when they squander opportunities. “We know we can beat the team and then we just lose it all of a sudden,” Harmon said. “I just try to forget about (the mistakes) and think of what I can fix, then you just kind of have to move on. It was one point, you know, we have more points ahead of us.” The fact is that Yelm is learning how to win. After constant losing throughout the program’s history, it takes time to turn a losing atmosphere around. “It takes time and we’re try-

ing to get people to move on,” Harmon said. “One mistake didn’t make or break the game. I feel like our program has come a long way.” Fellow senior Emma Leimbeck knows the feeling. Leimbeck said one of the biggest learning curves is mental. But once things turn around, she said they have the potential to have the best season in program history. “Deep down all the girls know that this year is our year to shine,” Leimbeck said. “We’ve worked so hard over the last few years building up to this point, and I think we’re all ready to do
our best and reach our goals.” Changing from a losing atmosphere is never easy, but Wallace knows they have the talent to build a winning program. While it may take baby steps, the girls are in the process of following their coach’s lead, believing in themselves and proving it on the court. “It’s kind of crazy to think that we actually do have a shot, because throughout Yelm … I was just completely out of it and thinking, ‘Great, another game. We’re gonna get killed,’” Leimbeck said. “This year I’m thinking, ‘Oh, good, we have another game. We’re gonna kill them.’”
X-COUNTRY: Hansen beats best time Continued from page C1 Kaylah Kowalski finished 34th in 33:46.8. For the boys, senior Mitchell McComb placed seventh in 19:03.47; junior Evan Lundquist finished 14th in 20:27.9; junior Patrick Yarbrough finished 20th in 21:02.85. Seniors Blake Wendler, Cody Cameron, Nathan Rutledge, Mitchell Mills, Tyler West and freshman Austin Taylor finished in the top 30. Sophomore Ricky McCann, senior Curtis Bertsch and junior
YELM: Playing good teams makes Tornados better
Cameron Campbell finished in the top 39. On Sept. 11 at the Capital Invite in Olympia, the kids had a lot more competition. Rainier was the only 1A school among a predominantly 2A, 3A and 4A pack. The only school smaller at the invite was 2B Northwest Christian in Lacey. Hansen placed 14th among fellow sophomore boys for the 2.33 mile run and had Rainier’s best time in 13:25.2. “Ben ran that course faster
than anyone in Rainier has ever run it before and he beat it by about 10 seconds,” Henry said. “That’s pretty good for a sophomore for his first season and his first time out.” Nine other boys ran for Rainier with a mix in each grade level. Miller was the top runner for the Rainier girls and finished 39th among seniors in 18:14.0. The runners travel to Toledo Tuesday, Sept. 21 to face fellow 1A schools Castle Rock, Hoquiam, Montesano and Toledo.

But in defeat came some hope for Yelm football, a team filled with youth and inexperience. “We had some real bright spots,” Yelm coach Randy Swilley said. “We have a lot of things to keep working on because we’re so young, but there’s some really good things that happened.” One of those bright spots was Jacob Swilley, who aside from scoring three times, gained 140 yards on 17 carries. Yelm’s defense, on the other hand, was overmatched against Tumwater coach Sid Otton’s Wing-T offense. “They’re kind of the WingT gurus,” Swilley said. “They do what they do really well and exploited some of our inexperience.” That inexperience led to
missed assignments and not having as much discipline as an upperclassmen with years of experience would have. The final score may be lopsided, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. True, Yelm has been defeated by more than 20 points in their two losses, but they are improving. “It’s not because I’m just trying to see the silver lining,” Swilley said. “To be completely honest, we’re playing really good football teams — playoff football teams. And at times we’re not just competing with those teams.” “There are times where we’re actually dominating them, but we haven’t been able to put that together for a long enough span where it can contribute to a full game,” he added. “It will happen, and by playing these good teams we’re only going to get better and better.”
HUEY: Sucks when awesome player is on a bad team Continued from page C1 homerism aside, the numbers don’t lie. It would be too easy to say that it would be unfair to not give Hernandez the award. The thing is this has nothing to do with fair or foul. It has everything to do with awarding the league’s best pitcher, and if the season ends the way it’s played out thus far, Hernandez should be the choice. Hernandez shouldn’t be penalized for his stagnant offense, nor should he be penalized for playing in a pitcher-friendly park such as Safeco Field. But, realistically, his only hope is to win out and remember that the Kansas City Royals’ Zack Greinke won last year’s Cy Young Award with just 16 wins. However, like Hernandez, Greinke had the league’s best overall statistics. But the flaw in that logic
is taking into account that last year no pitcher won 20 games, a hallowed accomplishment throughout baseball’s history. And presuming Sabathia doesn’t implode, he will bump his win total to at least 20 before the regular season ends in early October. Thanks to his offensively challenged team, it’s a long shot for Hernandez to win. Yet his numbers prove otherwise. The Baseball Writers Association of America needs to vote based on statistics and not win-loss records because, quite frankly, Sabathia’s lopsided win total is all he’s got. If the voters, like Nicholson’s character Col. Jessep, really do use words like honor, code and loyalty as the backbone of selecting the Cy Young Award winner, there is only one choice. If not, they use those words as a punchline.

Nisqually Valley News, Friday, September 17, 2010 C7
RHS: Homecoming to have fireworks Continued from page C1 uncle to Rainier senior Jimmy Barrett, is donating the show. The sky isn’t the only place likely to see fi reworks. Friday’s 7 p.m. kickoff marks not only Rainier’s Homecoming, but a longstanding rivalry in which both teams are after the coveted 507 Trophy. It is also the fi rst 1A Southwest-Evergreen League game of the season for both teams. The Mountaineers defeated the Tenino Beavers last year 41-7. It’s a win that Rainier hopes to repeat this year. Johnson warns that the game will be far from easy for either team. “It’s going to be a dog fight right down to the end,” Johnson said. “Anytime you have a rivalry y ggame,, yyou throw out
records, you throw out everything. It comes down to who wants it the worst and who is better prepared. I know Tenino has a new football coach, and he’s a good football coach. We expect one heck of a game.” Both teams are going into the game with a 1-1 record. Tenino lost its fi rst game 0-19 to 1A Stevenson and is fresh off a 17-14 win last Friday over 2B Northwest Christian. Rainier won its opener 516 over 2B Ocosta. Last Friday the Mounties lost 20-21 in a nail-biting game against 1A Toledo. On the fi rst play of the game, the Mounties were on the 27-yard line after receiving the kickoff and senior quarterback Aaron Riley connected to junior receiver Dalton Delio on a 73-yard touchdown pass. They made the point after
touchdown, or PAT, attempt to take an early 7-0 lead. Toledo came back in the second quarter with a strong drive of their own and a successful PAT to take a 7-7 score into halftime. “We came out in the second half and forced a fumble,” Johnson said. Senior linebacker Alex Proffitt put the ball in the endzone on a 1-yard run. A successful PAT put the Mounties up 14-7. “In the third quarter, Toledo puts together a really nice drive. Then they put down for the two and they make it, so it’s 15-14.” In the fourth quarter, the Indians increased their lead when Riley threw for an interception. “They fumble into the endzone for a touchdown and they
go for two and they miss it,” Johnson said. “It’s 21-14 with somewhere around seven minutes left in the game.” Rainier put together a quick drive, and around the fourth play of the drive, Johnson said Riley connected with senior receiver Cody Schneider on a 55-yard touchdown pass. Johnson said the team decided to go for one point in hopes of tying the game up with three minutes left, figuring they’d either have time to score again or could force the game into overtime. But Schneider is the team’s PAT kicker and was fresh off the excitement of a touchdown, Johnson said. So he missed the kick and the Mounties didn’t get another chance to score. “The kids never did give up,” Johnson said. “They up, They
played all game long.” Riley threw 7 of 10 for 193 yards, with two touchdown passes and one interception. Delio had three receptions for 103 yards and one touchdown. Schneider had two receptions for 82 yards and one touchdown. Mitchell Krasnican had nine carries for 41 yards. He also had 10 tackles and four assists. Devon Ducharme had 10 tackles and four assists and Barrett had eight tackles. Johnson said the kids must improve on playing assignment football if they hope to beat Tenino and continue on to a successful season. “We’re going to have to sustain blocks and just play better assignment football,” Johnson said. “And believe that they can win it. it.”
